A
more frequent reports in heavy weather
B
sailing plans to be sent before departure
C
arrival reports to be sent within 8 hours of arrival
D
a position report within 24 hours of departure
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) a position report within 24 hours of departure. The AMVER (Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue System) operated by the US Coast Guard requires vessels to send a position report within 24 hours of their departure. This report provides the Coast Guard with the vessel's location, which is used to coordinate rescue efforts in the event of an emergency at sea. The other answer choices are incorrect, as the AMVER system does not require more frequent reports in heavy weather, sailing plans before departure, or arrival reports within 8 hours of arrival.
